Browser Payments 1.0 API ------------------------ Kumar McMillan (Mozilla) and I (PaySwarm/Web Payments) have just published the first Web Payments Community Group draft of the Browser Payments 1.0 API. The purpose of the spec is to establish a way to initiate payments from within the browser. It is currently a direct port of the mozPay API framework that is integrated into Firefox OS. It enables Web content to initiate payment or issue a refund for a product or service. Once implemented in the browser, a Web author may issue navigator.payment() function to initiate a payment. The current spec can be read here: http://web-payments.github.io/browser-payments/ The github repo for the spec is here: https://github.com/web-payments/browser-payments/ Keep in mind that this is a very, very early draft of the spec. There are lots of prose issues as well as bugs that need to be sorted out. There are also a number of things that we need to discuss about the spec and how it fits into the larger Web ecosystem. Things like how it integrates with Persona and PaySwarm are still details that we need to suss out. There is an bug issue tracker for the spec here: https://github.com/web-payments/browser-payments/issues The Mozilla guys will be on next week's Web Payments telecon for a Q/A session about this specification. Join us if you're interested in payments in the browser. The call is open to the public, details about joining and listening in can be found here: https://payswarm.com/minutes/ -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Meritora - Web payments commercial launch http://blog.meritora.com/launch/
